Dear Sir

     I have recieved the paper sent me & will correct Mrs Custis’ account in the way you suggest.

     As to your advances allowed by Mr Moor they must undoubtedly be paid with interest; but I think it would disturb the simplicity of the statements we have Just made by introducing them there, they being confined throughout to the sales made amongst the legatees at particular periods & their division amongst them. To you it can be of no consequence I concieve whether your advances should be introduced into those accounts or remain, as they now are in the executorial accounts.  Very sincerely yrs

Bush. Washington
